zig is fine. he's a 4th line center. not really something i get excited about. i mean, eric bogunecki had a goal his first game and looked good early. same with guys like todd kostopolous. he's good for that role, but i don't have the mania. sorry.

I'll admit he's looked good. Jesse pointed out last night in the game thread that Sportsnet was way off in calling him slow. I think he might have a slow start, but when he gets the motor going he was pretty quick out there.

Kennedy had one shift where it looked like he had the ACME rocket skates on, went outside on an orange and black pilon and then straight to the net.

Do you mean Tom Kostopoulos (sp?)?

dammit. i was oscillating between tom and todd.

well the fact that i didn't know his name proves my point

Square or Sine? Did you get to the middle of the wave and think his name was Tomd and then come back the other way and think is name was Tod?

To the OP- I think Ziggy was one of the big things missing in the off-season acquisitions. There were a few bottom line centers out there and I was surprised and disappointed to see Shero not pick one up.

My big concern this year with the Pens was a lack of a good 4th line. But now with Cooke and Ziggy on it, I think it will be damn fine.

The goal was gravy. The thing he was brought in to do he delivered and in ALL of the key situations. If he doesnt score again this season but he wins faceoffs at over 50% he is a welcomed addition. I was impressed with how clean he won some of the most key draws last night. He definitely looked like he knew what he was doing. I want to see more though, one game does not make a Ronnie Francis caliber faceoff guy.
